Protocols of 1977

The Protocols of 1977 refers to agreements established within the framework of the Convention on Long-Range Transboundary Air Pollution, aimed at limiting and reducing pollutants causing acid rain, such as sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides. These protocols set specific emission reduction targets for participating countries, encouraging cooperation to improve air quality and protect the environment across borders. Essentially, they are international commitments to control pollution that travels through the atmosphere, helping to safeguard ecosystems, public health, and reduce environmental damage.
